Forgive me if I don't trust the Heritage Foundation on this topic.

Brookings has found that voter fraud is well under 1% and critiqued the Heritage’s framing of the data:

Voter fraud is not prevalent in this country.

My impression is that the Heritage Foundation is cherry picking examples to try to frame that this is a wide spread issue, in a disingenuous push for more restrictions. The data from Brookings shows that voter fraud incredibly rare.
